Infiniti are opening up a new dealership at 77 Piccadilly, ahead of openings around the country in the next year. Nissan’s luxury arm, Infiniti, is on a quest to conquer Europe with its wares.

VW Dung Beetle – Yes, it’s a sh*t powered Beetle
Wessex Water and the Greenfuel Company have built a VW Beetle to run on CNG produced by human waste at Wessex Water’s sewage works. I know, it’s the silly season for news. There’s not a lot going on – anyone with a brain has disappeared off for August – but we still have a site to […]
Nissan Qashqai: UK 2011 changes
Nissan has revealed the 2011 updates for the Nissan Qashqai and Qashqai +2 including Euro 5 engines, DPF, Chrome Pack and enhanced n-Tec trim pack.

The Lancia Stratos look-alike snapped at Fiat’s test track is a one-off Pininfarina creation based on a shortened Ferrari F430. Enthusiasts have yearned for the return of the Lancia Stratos.

Mitsubishi Shogun LWB Review & Road Test (2010) Part 2
Part 2 of our road test and review of the 2010 Mitsubishi Shogun LWB Elegance. And our verdict. Can it match up to the Discoveries and X5s of this world. But only until you get used to it. Once you are, you genuinely don’t hear it as you sink your foot to the floor for a rather leisurely sprint to 60mph […]
Lexus LFA For Sale – even in US
It seems that Lexus has had a change of heart over their insistence that – just in the US – customers would not be allowed to buy the LFA but would instead have to lease it. The argument by Lexus when they announced the Lexus LFA could only be leased in the USA was that […]
Nissan Qashaqai 2011 updates previewed
Nissan has updated the JSM Nissan Dualis for 2011 with tweaks we can probably expect for the 2011 Nissan Qashqai.

Ferrari 250 GTO – the ‘Budget’ version
Historics at Brooklands are to auction a Ferrari 250 GTO replica – the 250 GTO Evocazione – which is expected to fetch around £240k. The last time we had a Ferrari 250 GTO in the news was when we broke the story that Chris Evans had acquired a Ferrari 250 GTO for an undiclosed price […]
